DevOps Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Configuration is simple, it also works with the iPhone app. " September 26, 2022 4.0 We switched to this secure connection product when we started working from home. We were concerned about the initial setup because it is a commercial product, but it was simple to set up with the iPhone app and I was able to start using it within 10 minutes of setting it up. I liked it from the start; the video conferencing has been comfortable and uninterrupted. Furthermore, the connection status can be viewed, and we were able to replace security with peace of mind. Previously, when adding access points, settings had to be configured individually; however, with this product, settings are made automatically when connecting to the company LAN, so no time is wasted on setting up or troubleshooting. The guest Wi-Fi feature is extremely useful. Pros The setup and operation were simple, and we were able to use them right away because the instructions were brief and easy to follow. There was a time when I couldn't connect, but I quickly identified and resolved the issue. Cons When using it, there are no operational issues. If possible, set the SSID as the default access point to broaden the range of protection. Alternatives considered [Splunk Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/94317/Splunk/) Reason for choosing Aruba ClearPass Cheaper than similar products from other companies. In general, while many other companies charge a fee, I believe it is beneficial that the cloud management feature is included as a standard, allowing you to check the status of distant access points from the desktop. It would also be useful to see a graph of the applications used by wirelessly connected clients. Switched from [Cisco Duo](https://www.capterra.com/p/228827/Duo-Security/) I believe it has been the best solution for creating a healthy and growing telecommuting environment.

Cons What I like least is likely not a problem with Clearpass but with the device communicating to the network, but when there is no data as to what the device is it makes it a lot harder to see what is locking someone.
